Hello - Rust updated today, at around 4pm eastern time.

Since then, then i've manually updated my server, but your version of Oxide has only last been updated on the 16th - I think there may be a version mismatch.

Rust did not update today. Make sure you are on the release version of Rust, not staging or another dev branch. The last Rust server release was 12 days ago.

ok , thanks for the news; weirdly my server went down ; vendor showing it was still up- so I shut down my server, enabled auto-updates; saw it update. Then when I relaunch the server, it still has all my map data but Oxide is not running at all.

Oxide would need to be re-installed after any updates that are made.

Yes, I have but - it doesn't launch , It doesn't give me errors, and thats why I thought there was a version mismatch because the Oxide plugin is from the 16th.

Merged post

This is where my server updated ( note the date and time on the left hand )

I'm not sure what it is downloading, especially since it's been over a week since there have been any Rust updates for any branches.

ok, not sure too - I've opened a ticket with my vendor ; If its downloading something theres an underlying issue with my server.

I checked my version on the Rust dedicated server ; has the release date of the 16th so clearly no update from Rust.

Thank Wulf !I will give an update once I've found the issue. At the moment ill just rebuild from scratch and reload my plugins and see if that works.

Heres what I can notice; so when we install Oxide; it's installed into the RustDedicated_Data folder, I've redone a clean installation and now get these errors.

I have fully updated my server, reinstalled the files downloaded freshly from the proper location, and upon launching I noticed these errors.

What errors?

Error message about the handler not loading libRenderer.
Server runs fine; just oxide wont run - Not sure what updated at around 4pm, could possibly be a corrupted file on the server and would need a Dedicated Server fully reinstalled.

Oxide not running generally means it just isn't installed. It doesn't run or not run, it is either installed or not.

Is there a way to see why a plugin would just come up as unloaded, no errors.

If a plugin is unloaded, there was an error loading it. You'd need to check to see what happened in the logs.

Is there a way to see why a plugin would just come up as unloaded, no errors.

It's possible for a plugin to not load on startup for many reasons, such as wrong .cs filename, if the code in the .cs calls for the plugin to be called (example) AdminRadar.cs; and for whatever reason it got edited somehow to AdminRadarr.cs; it will not load.

Also run your .JSON files through jsonlint.com and double verify that the syntaxes are correct.

So update on my adventures...

I totally cleared out my server from oxide.

I reinstalled all the files.

Put in the plugins.cs files;

They were loading up as unloaded, and using the oxide.reload all function - would do nothing.

I had to reset my server, and then they would run.

I can no longer upload my plugins on the fly, the hook' ups inside oxide dont work anymore.

I also had to clear out all the data and config files and re-upload them.

Weirdly everything works now ( Except the plugin loading up on the fly - if I add them they come up as unloaded and I need to reset the server.

I have contacted my server owner, but has not yet received news from them. I just couldnt let my server be down for a 2nd day in a row.

Could you provide your log files?
